JAMISON (aka Jamie) is a gorgeous young guy with that beautiful, thick wavy coat some GSDs have - he's stunning and actually very sweet!  He was originally found starving in rural southern Missouri and was taken in by a kind woman, but after a time she decided she could not keep him as she had quite a pack of her own already.  Jamie is yet another victim of "Puppy Mill Country" - the huge over-breeding and over-population in that area.

But we're all grateful that Jamie is one of the fortunate few who survived being dumped in the country and made it out alive.  He's a very affectionate boy despite everyting he's been through!  He loves people and attention, and seems to really like other dogs.  We tested him with other large dogs and he did great, just wanting to play and then have their company. 

We haven't yet had the chance to observe him around small dogs, cats or kids, and those would have to be tested.  We believe he'll be fine around kids - the only issue being that his youthful exuberance and energy could and would easily knock a small child over in play if not supervised properly. 

Basically Jamie is at that awkward puppy/young dog stage where he's a "lunkhead" - a sweet, untrained boy who just needs the right training and guidance.  But like all German Shepherds, he does need strong canine leadership.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of people willing to foster, Jamie is in boarding.  We're not sure if he's housetrained, but he does well in his kennel.   He's super affectionate to people and is fast becoming a favorite at the boarding kennel.

Only one fortunate family will get to bring sweet Jame into their hearts and home!  Is that YOU?
 
DOGS:      Yes
CATS:       unknown, would have to be tested
KIDS:       unknown, would have to be tested but believe he will do fine
IDEAL FAMILY:   an active family with LOTS of love to give and who's willing to provide the training and leaderhsip this gorgeous young guy needs as a young, untrained GSD

 

JAMISON's ADOPTION FEE:   $300
This fee covers only part of what we spend to vet, board and rehab the dogs we save. On average we spend over $450 on each dog. We made a decision to keep our adoption fee at the 2005 level even though vet prices have doubled and tripled since then. We are constantly fundraising to cover the deficit. At minimum, your adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea preventives, and microchip. In many cases it also includes surgery and various types of vet treatment for standard issues such as hot spots, ear infections and so on.

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

1. We're picky about our adopters. 
2. Are you sure you're up to having a GSD?  They're not for everyone.  They take a lot of time, effort, training.  They shed year round.  They're big.  They scare lots of people.  They "mouth" and herd.  They're usually strong-willed and stubborn.  You have to have references and a home visit.  If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.  
   
3. Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
4. Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home?   We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone.  You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone.  A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car.  Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into.  Gates are opened.  Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
   
5. What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes?  New baby? Divorce?  Moving?   How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up? 
   
6. Will you make a lifetime commitment?  It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
7.  Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment?  It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
8. Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
